Quote of Confucius

As a Chinese, not everyone knows all the quotes of Confucius` but two or three of them at least. We learned his quotes from middle school. "Find a job that you love doing and you will never have to work a day in your life." is one of his most famous quote.

This quote tells us if you enjoy your job will feel very happy and enjoy in it instead of complaining. Confucius is persuading us to find out what we love and catch it. Personally, I think not everone can find a job as their imagin the same as life. Not everything in our life is perfect, and most of the bad things we have to face and solve them. As a result, we need a good measure of equanimity. "Try to love what you have", that is what I believe. Maybe I am a lazy people, so I do not want to seek what I want. Usually I love enjoy "now". Before I always complained, so it was rainy days all the time. As time goes by, I learn a lot.....

It is very easy to tell a people if he loves his job or not. See what is upon him, blue sky or dark cloud. My magic job maybe can never come true. I have already given up. I wanted to be a fashion designer, not for human beings but for pet. I wanted to own a medium-sized shop, then I could design and do some clothes for the pets by myselves. Everyday I sat in my lovely store, listened music and designed, not too many customers. I do not want too much money but a cozy life. Maybe someday I can meet my Mr. Right in my shop..... Then it will be a love story not the real life. My sister always says there are so some many impractical things in my mind. In fact, I know real life is real life, that is the reason why I gave it up without regrets. I am enjoying what I have now and I am always good at it.

"Try to enjoy youself", that is the only thing I want to say.....

So Chinese teachers encourage their students to find jobs they enjoy? I am happy to hear that. We also do that in the US.
